Full-sized van parked in a "Compact" parking space?  Idiot.





More not-compact vehicles badly parked in "Compact" spaces.

Since when is a Dodge Ram, a Chevy Tahoe and a Toyota Tacoma considered a compact?  At least the Ram driver kept it inside the lines.

Jesus, those park jobs are atrocious.  If somebody else is parked such a way that I also would have to not be between the lines in order to park next to them, I'll gladly find a different spot to avoid being That Guy.

saw a vette at walmart today sprawled the wrong way diagonally across diagonal spaces, he was blocking 6 of them. At least there were plenty of spaces closer to the doors

No, what the guy in the truck did was childish but ultimately harmless.  What you did in response, Mr. BMW Man, was a criminal act of vandalism.

Its people like this who give BMW owners a bad name.  I hope the judge throws the book at him!

Not strictly a park job, but they were there, gumming up traffic (already backed up because of a road closure) for over a minute.  Lots of honking there. 



Terrible park job, but that's one classy car on some tasteful rims.   :confused:

I came out of the gas station store today and there was a huge shiny black Tundra on rims and fake off-road tires parked across two spots, one of which was handicapped, and the guy was just getting out and "polishing" an invisible rock chip on his fender with his thumb and some spit. Texas plates. :rolleyes:

Surely it's intentional -- reasons unclear -- if it's like that every day? Unless it's always "damn, nowhere near the space again!"

I drive a "compact" so it's not an issue but the "compact" label would never stop me from using a spot, no matter what I drove. That van is a perfect example. Fits just fine.

The spots in the lot at work are about that size. My work rig is a long bed double cab 3/4 ton truck.

At the grocery store today...saw a Tundra parked along two spaces lenghtwise. My guess is the lady was trying to pull forward into the spot but only got about halfway.

Also, some bitch was parked right in front of the store so she could load her shit, so I had to sit there and wait. Had a handicapped plate, but this woman was not handicapped one bit. Probably her mom's car running errands for her. I gave her The Stink Eye for being a lazy sumbish.

Caught this one when I was leaving the gas station the other day.  I was parked a couple spots away from this guy...watched him proudly back into his spot and get out as I was backing out.  I was heading the opposite way out of the parking lot, but swung back in disbelief to take the picture.  He totally fucked anyone parked in the line of parking spots opposite him.  Literally only made it less than halfway into his proper spot.  :wtf:
